MUD PIES!!

After a big thunderstorm one afternoon...I put the girls in play clothes and rain boots and turned them loose..They loved it...

It's easy to tell which one got down in the dirt and had a blast!! Nothing to do but hose them down before going in the house!
Makayla wasn't nearly as dirty as Mallory! Makayla squats in the dirt, Mallory sits and rubs in on herself!!

June 27---Trip to Gulfport

The girls and I went to Gulfport for a few days to stay with Granny..Aunt Heather, Uncle Rain, Josh and Madi were there too...We went to the Waterpark and had a blast..We also went to the movie Surf's Up ( Mallory was more fascinated with the stairs!!), and we went to the beach while Josh went to the skate park...Of course we also had a cookout and went to the outlet mall...We had a full 3 days!! We had a blast and can't wait to see the South Carolina crew again!!

Unfortunately I didn't get many pics because my batteries ran out and I didn't have the charger!! Aunt Heather got a ton though!!

Vacation Bible School!!

This year for Vacation Bible School, Makayla was in the 4 year old class and Mallory was in the nursery...Mrs. Sandra (Brad's Mom) and I shared the task of teaching the 4 year olds! I taught M W Fri and she taught Tues Thurs...We had 13, 4 year olds...We were exhausted by the end of the week..but had a blast..they each learned a bible verse, and Makayla is still singing the songs they learned and talks about Jesus all the time now...I have to share a story....One day after bible school Makayla asked Mrs Sandra if Jesus was here (in the car)..Mrs Sandra said "Yes Makayla, Jesus is everywhere, you can't see him like you can see me but he is here he is always with you in your heart. Later that day when they were home Mrs Sandra was in the bedroom, Makayla walked in and said "Nana, is Jesus in here?" Mrs Sandra said "Yes, remember I told you he is everywhere..." Makayla thought about this for a minute and then finally as she turned around to go said "Come on Jesus, Lets go to the living room.." HAHA LOL...

Happy Father's Day

After church on Father's Day....Mallory was down for the count for a nap...she falls asleep every Sunday on the way home from church! Brad is such a good daddy...I really love that about him...the time he takes with the girls and the love he gives them!!!

BABY DEDICATION

Mallory was dedicated to the Lord at Calvary Baptist Church on May 20, 2007....Sorry most of my pics were taken with my 35mm camera...
It was a beautiful ceremony.

Hello...
Sorry I have not updated before today...We have not been feeling well at the Martin residence...Makayla has had a virus- running a fever of 102-104 with a headache and stomach ache...(she had us worried....but it is going around in the area)..Her fever finally broke last night...SOOO she did not get to enjoy the dance recital much...she went and danced--while loaded up on Tylenol and Motrin...but we didn't get many pics...she did great even though she didn't feel well...We weren't going to let her go..but she had a meltdown and we caved....
Mallory has been teething....she is very fussy today..so I am typing this with her in my lap asleep---thanks to the Tylenol---She has 8 or 9 teeth now and a molar is trying to come through!
Hope you are all well and happy!

Mallory's Actual Birthday

MAY 9th, 2007
This is Mallory's actual first birthday...It has become tradition at our house to have a small birthday cake the actual day of your birthday...This was actually started because Makayla's birthday is December 27th...hard to have a party around that time...so we have the special cake day! Mallory didn't mind one bit getting two cakes in a matter of a few days :)))lol
